Revainrating 4 out of 5

Neat display with some flaws

I have a 32-inch LG LG 32QN600-B QHD monitor, which I sometimes find too big for close-ups on a desktop. I figured these 28 inches would probably fit better. The monitor is well packaged and received without damage. . The power cord and HDMI cable are also included. Assembling the monitor is easy and requires no tools like a screwdriver, which is nice. There is no printed manual, only a quick installation diagram is included. It's not out of the question nowadays, but you need to find and download a driver for this monitor online. Each monitor has power, HDMI and DP connections. No USB-C. Ports are under the back, not on the right side like LG. I find this port placement awkward and cumbersome, particularly the HDMI port is located just above the base of the stand. At least for me, this kind of design where the engineers and the manufacturer helped the user along is a thing of the past, not today. To make matters worse, the control menus and power buttons are black on black, with just a small gray label with the symbol above the buttons. which are very difficult to see on a black frame in a not very bright room. The menu design also refers to bygone times that should be long gone. Eating again is cumbersome and tedious and very often the wrong button is pressed! This is the source of frustration. To make life even harder for the user, Windows defines this monitor as generic so one has to search and download the driver from their support site and then it just happens that the driver download is actually just a windows driver and not a self-installing utility is ! Again, you need to go to Windows Device Manager to change the generic monitor driver to a downloadable driver. Talk about usability! There's also no control program like LG's that can be used on a PC to change monitor settings without using the physical buttons on the monitor. Of course, most people don't change the display port that often or need to change the settings that often, but it still reflects a lot of the thoughts of the engineers and the manufacturer. At least the display is decent, but it has to be said that with a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz and a brightness of 300cd/m2, this is probably not for hardcore gaming, but rather for regular use. Also note that while this is a 4K monitor, it doesn't support HDR! Again, one wonders what the engineers have in mind. Not suited for video or even image editing, HDR is good to have when you don't need it. Without the standard calibration and color profile that comes with every monitor, this monitor has a slight yellowing bias, while LG's is purple. Neither is more accurate than the other, but images certainly look more vibrant on the LG in HDR mode. To be expected for a monitor in this price range. 28" 4K monitor and Windows at 100% zoom, plain text will probably be too small for most. I find that at 200% it's great for web browsing and general use. There are few programs out there that are graphically rigid Use text that seems too small. Overall, this is a decent display with not-so-modern design and features. If you're looking for a 28-32" monitor that displays colors and crisp text well enough for such demanding games, this is it this might be for you.If you're an avid gamer and need an HDR or USB-C connection, you should probably look elsewhere.
